“Becoming a reseller for Civility Experts Worldwide for Canada West has been an amazingly rewarding experience.  I was very excited to and nervous when I started, but the continued support and business enhancements made my experience effortless.   Lew Bayer and her wonderful team at Civility Experts Worldwide always manage to offer advice and point me in the right direction.  It has been an incredible journey with so many rewards including business development and revenues and also personal as well.   I am so very happy I took the opportunity to be a reseller for Canada West.  I never look back but just so enthusiastic about the incredible opportunity I have in front of me.

Recently I decided to add more credibility to my Industry Leader Business Trainer program.  The best option is to get the program validated thru the International Civility Trainers Consortium  (ICTC).  Along with the many supports and the ease of the exam process, I found that the ICTC allowed me to streamline my accreditation process for my students. Ultimately ICTC allowed me to build my international reputation for myself along with adding my student’s integrity and credibility to their businesses as well.

Thank you”
